As the summer sun dips down to the horizon, and strains of lyric music float softly on a breeze, we will host our Midsummer Night's Tasting. Lanterns will twinkle from the cherry trees, candles will dance on the tables, flowers will nod in both garden and vase. Our foods, so carefully and lovingly prepared, will be presented on festive board. Settle into our summer world for an evening - as the moon rises and the butterflies rest.

Thanksgiving Tasting
As the lanterns and candles are lighted and the pot bellied stove in our market glows with warmth our historic barn, with cathedral-like tables made festive with bouquet and still life, and our delicious foods, presented from richly laden serving tables.
